Property 192798 - Cortona - Tuscany

10 Bedrooms – Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Located on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, this elegant property is ideally located to explore both regions’ cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Just a few kilometers from the charming towns of Arezzo and Perugia, Property 192798 provides the perfect base for day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and Umbria, providing a unique opportunity to admire their iconic landscapes while soaking up the regions’ incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.

The villa is just a stone’s throw away from Cortona, a hilltop town near Arezzo. The movie “Under the Tuscan Sun” was shot here and in the magical surrounding hills. ⁠This charming Tuscan town, enclosed by stone walls dating back to Etruscan and Roman times, clings to the side of a mountain overlooking the Val di Chiana, looking out to Lake Trasimeno and neighboring Umbria.⁠ Enjoy dining at one of Cortona’s many excellent restaurants every evening, just steps from your front door.

The villa is a few kilometers from the medieval town of Montepulciano. Standing high atop a hill not far from Siena, the town of Montepulciano boasts elegant Renaissance palaces, ancient churches, charming squares, and breathtaking views over the wonderful Val d’Orcia. From the villa, in less than one hour by car, you can also reach Montalcino, extremely well-known for producing its Brunello red wine, one of the world’s most appreciated Italian wines.

Some 50 kilometers south of Siena, you will come across Pienza, a jewel among some of the most magnificent and typical Tuscan landscapes, a wonderful little center of Renaissance order and urbanity. Nestled between the cathedral, the Piccolo-mini palace, another palace built by young cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, and the Palazzo Comunale, which houses the town council offices, is the settlement of Pienza, which boasts a gorgeous central Corso and a spectacular main square.

The villa is a few kilometers from Perugia, Umbria’s largest city. Its historic center rises in a helter-skelter of cobbled alleys, arched stairways and piazzas framed by churches and palazzi. Reminders of its lively past are everywhere, from ancient arches and medieval basilicas to Renaissance frescoes. But while history reverberates all around, Perugia knows how to party: university students pep up the nightlife and fill café terraces, while music-lovers swarm to the city in July for Umbria Jazz, one of Europe’s top jazz festivals.
